STOVE OR RANGE.

SPECIFICATION part of Letters Patent No. 602,166, dated April 12, 1898.Application filed December 10, 1896 Serial No. 615,179. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, HERBERT W. MASON, a citizen of the United States,residing at Glens Falls, in the county of lVarren and State of New York,have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Stoves or Ranges;and I do declare the following to be a full, clear, and exactdescription of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in theart to which it appertains to make and use the same.

My invention relates to improvements in cooking stoves or ranges, andmore particularly to that class wherein the products of combustion maybe made to pass over or under or both over and under the oven at will;and the object is to provide a simple and effective stove or range ofthis character.

To this end the invention consists in the construction, combination, andarrangement of the stove or range, as will be hereinafter more fullydescribed, and particularly pointed out in the claim.

In the accompanying drawings like characters of reference indicatecorresponding parts in the several figures.

Figure 1 is a perspective view of a cookingstove embodying my invention.Fig. 2 is a longitudinal section. Fig.3 is a horizontal section on theline a; x of Fig. 2. Fig. 4 is a similar view on the line 4 4 of Fig. 2.

1 represents the stove proper, 2 the fire-pot, and 3 the oven. Thatportion between the top of the oven and the top of the stove is providedwith two vertical transverse partitionwalls A and B, the former having adamperorifice 0, controlled by a damper 4, and the latter wall with anopening D, communicating with the vertical passage-Way 6 between theback of the oven and the back of the stove and which opens into ahorizontal passageway 18 between the bottom of the oven and the bottomof the stove proper and separated from the side walls of the stove bythe longitudinal partitions 22 and 29, the latter of which is providedwith an opening 26, controlled by a damper 30.

7 represents the flue, extending vertically on one side of the stove andcommunicating at its lowerend through an orifice 7 f with the passage Eunder the oven and between the partition 29 and the adjoining side ofthe stove proper. The upper end of said flue is also provided with anori fice F, which communicates with the passage G above the oven andbetween the partitions A and B, and said orifice F is controlled by adamper 5.

The longitudinal partition 22 is provided with two orifices 21 21, whichestablish communication between the passages 11 and 18,

and these orifices 21 21 are simultaneously controlled by the dampers 2324, fixed to the rod 25.

I represents a transverse partition located under the forward lowerfront end of the oven and the stove-bottom, and it is provided with anorifice 16, which communicates with the passage 8, located under thefire-pot, and the passage 18 under the center of the oven. A secondorifice 17 is also formed in said transverse partition I, whichestablishes communication between the passage 8 and the passage H. Bothof the orifices 16 and 17 are simultaneously controlled by the dampers19 19', fixed on the rod L.

10 and 12 represent two vertical fines ex? tending parallel between theinside of th e front of the stove and the front wall of the fire-pot,their upper ends opening into the upper part of the fire-pot and theirlower ends opening into the passage 8 under said fire-pot.

13 13 represent dampers fixed to a common rod 14, adapted tosimultaneously control the draft through the fines 10 and 12.

When in use for ordinary cooking, all of the dampers are closed except 4and 5, and then the products of combustion pass directly from thefire-pot, through the orifices O and 7' F, over the oven to the flue 7,and while there is no outlet a sufficientamount of said products find anentrance through the orifice D into the passage 6 and thence into thepassage 18 under the bottom of the oven.

In baking pies, cakes, and similar pastry, where it is desired to havethe bottom of the article thoroughly done, the dampers 4 and 5 areclosed and the dampers 13 13, 19 19, 23, 24, and 30 are opened, thuscutting off the products from the top of the oven and allowing saidproducts to pass from the fire-pot, down through the vertical fiues 1012, into the passage 8 under the fire-pot, and thence through theorifice 16 into the passage 18 under the oven and also through theorifice 17 into the passage H, and from thence through the orifices 2121 into the passage 18, from whence the combined products pass throughthe orifice 26 into the passage E, where they escape into the flue 7through the orifice 7. Of course it will be understood that by a propermanipulation of the dampers the products of combustion may be dividedand a portion allowed to pass over and a portion under the oven Wheredesirable.

Although I have specifically described the construction and relativearrangement of the several elements of my invention, I do not desire tobe confined to the same, as such changes or modifications may be made asclearly fall within the scope of my invention without departing from thespirit thereof.

Having thus fully described my invention, what I claim as new anduseful, and desire to secure by Letters Patent of the United States, 1s-

A cooking stove or range, comprising the fire-pot 2, provided with apassage 8 located beneath said pot, vertical fines 10, 12, extendingfrom the upper part of said fire-pot and communicating with saidpassage, dampers13, 13, fixed on a common rod 14 and arranged tosimultaneously control said fines in combination with the oven 3, thepartitions A, B, extending from the top of the oven to the top plate ofthe stove and provided with the orifices O and D and the damper 4arranged to control the orifice O, the longitudinal partitions 22 and29, provided with the orifices 21, 21', and the orifice 26, the dampers23, 24, fixed on the common rod 25 and adapted to simultaneously controlsaid orifices 21, 21, and the damper adapted to control the orifice 26,the transverse partition I extending between the sides of the stove andbetween the forward end of the oven and the bottom plate of said stove,and provided with the orifices 16 and 17, the dampers 19, 19, fixed on acommon rod L, and adapted to simultaneously control said orifices 16,17, the vertical fine 7 formed with the orifice 7 communicating with apassage beneath the oven and With an orifice F, communicating with asimilar passage above said oven and a damper 5, adapted to control saidorifice F, substantially as and for the purpose set forth.

In testimony whereof I hereunto affix my signature in presence of twowitnesses.
